This summer she is spending her lunchtimes learning to walk on her hands, so it seems.

I had a lovely FaceTime call with B today while katie was at school. Katie's face when I told her was a rather hilarious mix of annoyed at me and excited to hear what she had to say. Then back to annoyed, shortly before returning to asking questions.

She did a brilliant clarinet practise this morning. She's working on a new piece for festival in a few weeks and has come on so much in the last couple of days.

After school it was dancing. She sat on my knee in the car before class and told me how excited she was to go to class. She bounced out of class but began to look a bit sleepy on the drive home. Yet when we got home she started with the garden gymnastics again.

When she'd come back in, she went to thepiano but then was considering having a meltdown. I sent her to cuddle monkey and calm down & consider whether it would be better to go to bed. She decided she wanted to practice. And did a brilliant job! She went through her exam work and then decided she wanted to learn a new piece. The kid picks stuff so insanely quickly!

She was excited to go to bed though and told me "theres only 2 chapters left, mama!!" We have now finished the Enchanted Wood and she can't wait to start the Magic Faraway tree tomorrow
